Well sure. No different from gals: some are more shy, some are less so. And some may be more or less so depending on the situation: shy and retiring in a crowd of strangers, but more open one-on-one or with a crowd of familiars. Or sometimes the other way around. Everybody's different.

People are shy for different reasons..... so depends on the situation you were both in when you first noticed he was shy.

Therefore:-

did he just trip over in front of you?
was he caught doing something he shouldn't?
etc
etc
(fill in as appropriate)

Good luck handshake

Not a very clever question.
Do you want her to change her colour??

thumbs up

(I always wonder a little at these kinds of questions. Of course it's "normal" for some, just as being gregarious is "normal" for some. We're not all carbon copies of each other!)

Yes its normal for guys to be shy. Shyness is not gender specific . It just depends on the person. Some people are very outgoing and some are not but that doesn't take away from them being a man. People have to be themselves.Maybe he just needs a woman that he can be comfortable with or will give him something not to be shy about ;)



And Yes (to godsgiftt lol there are black women in Sweden as well as other cultures) that was a very insensitive statement. You need to grow up and free your mind of ignorance

I'd agree with you to a point Rohaan.
But to be fair, *I* would have to say I was quite surprised too to see the reactions to the question here when you consider the massive pre-conception society has that men must be gregarious and larger-than-life, or dark and broody, but ALWAYS confident and self-contained.
Men normally are not allowed to have or show vulnerabilities of ANY kind, though we have our vulnerabilities as much as women.

But...

I guess that pre-conception is changing, for the better! As evidenced by numerous comments here.

There is hope yet for the species!! doh laugh

So clever, it went right over your head. Those with an IQ in double figures and above would have quite understood the comparison. But it's nice to see you humiliating yourself on the Internationals again. Not enough CS members frequent the blogs to see you humiliate yourself on a regular basis. sigh

Shyness isn't a gender issue. Some people are shy (well, a lot of people are). Both men and women. Very normal for a 'guy' go be 'shy.'

No it's not normal, Soldiers are human, why would you ask such a foolish and tasteless question, Anyone who could shoot a child has issues,why do you refer to a soldier? Besides which this question has nothing to do with the topic.doh frustrated

miniella: I met this new guy but he is just so shy for my liking


I don't see why its not just as likely for a man to be shy as a woman who is shy..?! dunno

I don't see there's anything wrong with that, it helps if he can find someone who boosts his confidence, perhaps? Someone who can be supportive and have a positive, pro-active approach to things, maybe. That would come naturally from someone who genuinely cares and has his best interests at heart..... its what's called a partnership, a team, a relationship.....

If you say this new chap you have met is too shy for your liking then you need to find someone who is more confident, clearly. Don't waste his valuable time nor yours, you need to find the match for you - and so does he.

Good luck bouquet

scientific answer:

yes, it's normal for a guy to be shy but it's also normal for a woman to be repulsed by a shy guy

shyness (aka "approach anxiety") is an instinct males have developed because in the hunter/gatherer days, a male could be killed or ostracized from his tribe for attempting relations with the wrong female

females have developed an instinct to avoid "shy" males because shyness is a beta male trait and females want to reproduce with an alpha male

that's why "nice guys finish last" and women seem to prefer the "a**hole" type
